On the other hand, Catholicism is not Islam. So the effort by some to make Catholicism (or Christianity) into Islam is extremely misguided.
If I disagree will you lash me to a post and set fire to me?
Because that is what ISIS is doing as I type this pithy reply.
Islam is diametrically opposed to Christianity. Muslims deny Jesus is the Christ, the divine Son of God.
1 John 2:22 “Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.”
It’s as simple as that.
Todays catholic Hierarchy stance about islam as NOTHING TO DO with FAITH and DOGMA .
The core catholic and christian FAITH is summarized in the CREDO .
Many catholics disagree about iSSlam with a part ( main ? ) of their hierarchy ....
One big problem in the catholic church today is the way bishops ( and there is a lot of questions about how the last pope was elected and the way it occured ) ;
Political correctness seems to be a criteria of selection.
It is true that the catholic church is in jeopardy but there are also signs of hope ( eastern european church , Russia , Asia ...)
The five oldest and most trusted Islamic sources don’t portray Muhammad as a great and godly man. They confirm that he was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape. He authorized deception, assassinations, torture, slavery, and genocide. He was a pirate, not a prophet. According to the Hadith and the Qur’an, Muhammad and his henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity.....
What Luther said.
Catholic leadership from the Vatican on down seems to have gone berserk.
They claim they are the ONLY true church, but allows almost EVERY other "religion" to be acceptable / accepted ... with no effort to convert those allowed "religions"
Man Catholicism is really desperate for that echeumenism.
The fake Pope is a tool of the NWO
the Catholic hierarchy will have demonstrated that it does not have the authority or reliability in discerning and transmitting the truth that it claims to have
this has been manifestly obvious since the close of the Second Vatican Council...
If the Catholic Church can no longer distinguish between the Works of God and the works of the devil, they should get out of the religion business and join the circus as a traveling freak show.
In the final analysis, the Pope is only a man. A good Pope is a righteous man. A mediocre Pope is a weak man. A poor Pope tries to lead the church astray, but generally fails.
